(1) Under certain provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidations, (“ASC 810”) we are required to separately disclose on our condensed consolidated balance sheets the assets of the consolidated variable interest entity (“VIE”) that are owned by the consolidated VIE and liabilities of the consolidated VIE as to which there is no recourse against us.
As of June 30, 2025, the total assets include $ 2,303.8 related to the consolidated VIE of which $ 2,303.8 is included in cash and cash equivalents. Total liabilities included related to the consolidated VIE were $ 0.0 . As of December 31, 2024, we did not have a variable interest in the VIE, as a result no assets and liabilities of the VIE are included in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. There is no recourse against us for the liabilities of the consolidated VIE.

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the historical accounts of TMTG Sub Inc. f/k/a Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (“Private TMTG” or
“Predecessor TMTG” or, prior to the closing on March 25, 2024, “TMTG”), which changed its name from Trump Media Group Corp. in October 2021. The mission of TMTG is to end Big Tech’s assault on free speech by opening up the Internet and giving people
their voices back. TMTG operates Truth Social, a social media platform established as a safe harbor for free expression amid increasingly harsh censorship by Big Tech corporations, as well as Truth+, a streaming platform focusing on family friendly
live TV channels and on-demand content. TMTG is also launchingTruth.Fi, a financial services and FinTech brand incorporating America First investment vehicles, and a digital asset strategy--including a Bitcoin treasury--to help ensure the Company’s
financial freedom and protect against discrimination by financial institutions.
Merger
On March 25, 2024, TMTG consummated the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement dated October 20, 2021, between Digital World Acquisition Corp. (the “Company,” “Digital World” or “DWAC” or, following the closing on March 25, 2024, “TMTG” or “New Digital World”), DWAC Merger Sub, Private TMTG, ARC Global Investments II (“ARC”), LLC and TMTG’s Chief Legal Officer, as amended on May 11, 2022, August 9, 2023 and September 29, 2023. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, upon the Closing, DWAC Merger Sub merged with and into TMTG, with TMTG surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Digital World. TMTG’s stockholders received 87,500,000 shares of Digital World Class A common stock (excluding 40,000,000 Earnout Shares), subject to certain adjustments and earnout provisions, in exchange for TMTG common stock. This was, in substance, a continuation of the TMTG shareholders’ equity interests in the TMTG business, plus up to an additional 7,854,534 shares of New Digital World common stock to be issued upon conversion of outstanding TMTG Convertible Notes immediately prior to the Closing.
Notwithstanding the legal form of the Business Combination pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP because
TMTG was the operating company and was determined to be the accounting acquirer under Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), while Digital World was a blank check
company. The determination was primarily based on the evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:
•
The pre-combination equity holders of Private TMTG hold the majority of voting rights in TMTG;
•
The pre-combination equity holders of Private TMTG had the right to appoint the majority of the directors on TMTG’s Board;
•
Private TMTG senior management (executives) are the senior management (executives) of TMTG; and
•
Operations of Private TMTG comprise the ongoing operations of TMTG.
Under the reverse recapitalization model, the Business Combination was treated as TMTG issuing equity for the net assets of Digital World, with no goodwill or intangible assets recorded.

Table of Contents
While Digital World was the legal acquirer in the Business Combination, because Predecessor TMTG was deemed the accounting acquirer, the historical financial statements of Predecessor TMTG became the
historical financial statements of the combined company upon the consummation of the Business Combination. As a result, the financial statements reflect (i) the historical operating results of Predecessor TMTG prior to the Business Combination; (ii)
the combined results of Digital World and Predecessor TMTG following the closing of the Business Combination; (iii) the assets and liabilities of Predecessor TMTG at their historical cost; and (iv) the Company’s equity structure for all periods
presented. In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, Digital World was renamed “Trump Media & Technology Group Corp.” and our wholly owned subsidiary TMTG was renamed “TMTG Sub Inc.”
In accordance with the applicable guidance, the equity structure was retroactively restated in all comparative periods up to the Closing Date, to reflect the number of shares of the Company’s common
stock issued to Predecessor TMTG common shareholders and Predecessor TMTG convertible noteholders in connection with the Business Combination. As such, the shares and corresponding capital amounts and earnings (loss) per share related to Predecessor
TMTG convertible notes and Predecessor TMTG common stock prior to the Business Combination were retroactively restated as shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Our interim financial statements are unaudited, and in our opinion, include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for the fair presentation of the periods presented. The results
for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent period or for the year ending December 31, 2025.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Annual Report”).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business acquisitions, the assessment of recoverability of our goodwill and long-lived assets, and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates and assumptions reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements relate to and include, but are
not limited to, fair value of intangible assets acquired in business acquisitions, recoverability of goodwill and intangibles, fair value of short-term investments and trading securities, the fair value of our option liabilities, useful lives of
intangibles and depreciable assets, and stock-based compensation.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and a VIE in which we are deemed the primary beneficiary, have been
prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Table of Contents
Variable Interest Entity
GAAP requires the assessment of whether an entity is a VIE and, if so, if we are the primary beneficiary at the inception of the entity or at a reconsideration event. Additionally, GAAP requires the consolidation of
VIEs in which a company has a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest will have both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic
performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
On April 2, 2025, we provided initial operational funding to Yorkville America, LLC, (“Yorkville America”), through a services agreement and licensing agreement. Yorkville America, through its subsidiaries serves as the
Registered Investment Advisor for investment vehicles and financial products which focus on investments in American growth, manufacturing, energy companies, and digital assets, as well as investments that strengthen the Patriot Economy. Pursuant to
the terms of the services agreement, we will provide a majority of the operational funding for Yorkville America, in exchange for a majority of their net profit. Additionally, through a licensing agreement, Yorkville America may utilize Truth.Fi
intellectual property to market their investment vehicles and financial products. Substantially all of the business activity of Yorkville America is conducted on behalf of TMTG. We determined this represented a variable interest in Yorkville
America. We do not maintain any equity ownership in Yorkville America.
We determined that TMTG has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Yorkville America’s economic performance through our disproportionate economic rights and obligations, and that
substantially all of Yorkville America’s activities are conducted on behalf of TMTG. Through meeting the criterion of a controlling financial interest, we determined that TMTG is the primary beneficiary of Yorkville America. As the primary
beneficiary of Yorkville America, we consolidate in our financial statements the balance sheets, results of operations, and cash flows of Yorkville America, and all intercompany balances and transactions between us and Yorkville America are
eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Yorkville America did not have any material assets or liabilities upon initial consolidation. We report a non-controlling interest representing the economic interest held by other
parties in Yorkville America.
We have not provided any guarantees related to Yorkville America and no creditors of Yorkville America have recourse to the general credit of TMTG.
As of June 30, 2025, we held a variable interest in two VIEs for which we are not the primary beneficiary. Yorkville America sponsors certain investment products, including exchange-traded funds, for which it earns a Sponsor Fee in exchange for providing management and advisory services. The Sponsor Fees represent the primary economic interest in the VIEs. TMTG nor any of our consolidated entities hold equity investments or other financial interest in the VIEs as of June 30, 2025. As a result, Yorkville America controls the power to direct the activities most significant to these VIEs performance, although the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits from the VIE is held by the shareholders of the sponsored investment products. The Sponsor Fees do not represent a variable interest that could potentially be significant to the economic performance of the VIEs.
Our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with the unconsolidated VIEs is limited only to our loss of future Sponsor Fees and uncollected fee receivables in this VIE, which was $ 0 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. We may be subject to additional losses to the extent of any financial support that we voluntarily provide in the future. The sponsored investment products of the unconsolidated VIEs did not have any assets or liabilities as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Restricted cash
Restricted cash consists of cash equivalents held as collateral with the Collateral Agent to our Notes (Note 8).

Table of Contents
Unearned revenue
Unearned revenue primarily consisted of billings or payments received from customers in advance of revenue recognized for the services provided to our customers or annual licenses and was recognized as services were performed or ratably over the life of the license. We generally invoice customers in advance or in milestone-based installments. Unearned revenue of $ 246.7 and $ 1,010.7 was recognized as revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, which was included in the unearned revenue balance as of December 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2025, we have fulfilled all services pursuant to previously unearned revenue and recognized all related revenue.
Investments
Investments in equity securities are classified by individual security as available-for-sale or trading securities. Our trading securities consist primarily of equity exchange traded funds that invest in digital assets. We had trading securities of $ 122,366.4 at June 30, 2025 and $ 0.0 at December 31, 2024, respectively, that are carried on our balance sheet at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses associated with trading securities are reflected in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
We did not have any investments classified as available-for-sale as of June 30, 2025.
Options
From time to time, we may write covered put and call options on digital asset related securities, as part of our digital asset treasury strategy to generate premium income and purchase digital assets
and related securities at lower effective prices. These options are covered by cash collateral to cover potential purchases. In exchange for this commitment, we receive premiums immediately paid in cash. The difference between the premium and the
amount paid while affecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commission, is also treated as a realized investment gain or loss. This premium acts as income, increasing our investment yield. If the option expires worthless, we
keep the full premium as profit with no obligation to purchase. If a put option is exercised, we buy the security at the strike price using the cash collateral, and the premium received reduces the effective cost basis, allowing us to acquire the
securities at a discount compared to direct market purchases. If a call option is exercised, we sell the security at the strike price using our existing holdings of the security, and the premium received reduces any loss or increases any gain we may
incur.
The writer of an option bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. The aggregate fair value of unexpired options written are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Cash held as collateral for written options is classified as restricted cash on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Securities held as collateral for outstanding call options are presented within trading securities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of June 30, 2025, we did not have any outstanding put options restricting use of our cash balance.
Concentrations of risks
Our financial instruments are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consisting primarily of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. Although we deposit cash and cash equivalents with
multiple banks, these deposits may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. These deposits may generally be redeemed upon demand and in our opinion bear minimal risk.
One advertising platform accounted for 91 % and 93 % of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
In order to reduce the risk of downtime of the media offerings we provide, we have established data centers in various geographic regions. We have internal procedures to restore products in the event
of a service disruption or disaster at any of our data center facilities. We serve our customers and users from data center facilities operated either by us or third parties. Even with these procedures for disaster recovery in place, the
availability of our products could be significantly interrupted during the implementation of restoration procedures.

Recently issued accounting standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2023-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Crypto Assets (Subtopic 350-60): Accounting for
and Disclosure of Crypto Assets (“ASU 2023-08”). ASU 2023-08 requires digital assets to be measured at fair value as of the end of each reporting period in the balance sheet, with gains and losses from changes in fair value of the digital assets
recognized in net income for each reporting period. We determine the fair value of bitcoin in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement , based on quoted (unadjusted) prices on its principal market.
This update also requires certain interim and annual disclosures for digital assets within the scope of the standard. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. This adoption of this standard will have a prospective
material impact on the presentation of our condensed consolidated financial statements, due to our addition of digital assets to our balance sheet subsequent to June 30, 2025.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU, 2023-09 “ Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” or ASU 2023-09. ASU 2023-09 requires
additional disaggregated disclosures on an entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation and additional details on income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective on a prospective basis, with the option for retrospective application, for annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2024. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective
prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting period after the effective date or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this guidance will result in additional disclosures, but we do not expect the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will impact our consolidated financial position,
results of operations or cash flows.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt (Subtopic 470-20): Debt with Conversion and Other Options. ASU 2024-04 clarifies the assessment of whether
a transaction should be accounted for as an induced conversion or extinguishment of convertible debt when changes are made to conversion features as part of an offer to settle the instrument. ASU 2024-04 is effective for reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for entities that have adopted ASU 2020-06. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2024-04 to have a material impact on our unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 – RECAPITALIZATION
As discussed in Note 1, following the Closing of the Business Combination, TMTG was deemed the accounting acquirer and the transaction was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization.

Transaction Proceeds
Upon the Closing, we received gross proceeds of $ 233,017.5 . The following table reconciles the elements of the Business Combination to the consolidated statements of cash flows and the consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the year ended December 31, 2024:

In connection with the Merger, TMTG incurred $ 1,640.2 in one-time direct and incremental transaction costs, consisting of legal and other professional fees, recorded in general and administration expenses. TMTG also issued $ 6,130.0 of bonus payments to our employees and a director of Private TMTG that were triggered by the Merger. We recorded $ 5,530.0 and $ 600.0 in general and administration expense and sales and marketing expense, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2024. TMTG deems these to be non-recurring expenses that are not direct and incremental to the Merger.
The number of shares of common stock issued immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination were:

Public and private placement warrants
In connection with Digital World’s initial public offering in 2021, 14,374,976 public warrants were issued (the “Public Warrants”) and 566,742 warrants were issued in a private placement (the “Private Placement Warrants”; and the Private Placement Warrants together with the Public Warrants, collectively the “Warrants”) all of which warrants remained outstanding and became warrants for the Common Stock in the Company.
Additionally, pursuant to warrant subscription agreements (each a “Warrant Subscription Agreement”) entered into by and between Digital World and certain institutional investors on February 7, 2024, Digital World agreed to issue an aggregate of 3,424,510 warrants (“Convertible Note Post IPO Warrants and “Post-IPO Warrants”), each warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock for $ 11.50 per share. The Convertible Note Post IPO Warrants and Post-IPO Warrants were issued concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination, and have substantially the same terms as the public warrants issued by Digital World in connection with its initial public offering, except that such Post-IPO Warrants may only be transferred to the applicable holder’s affiliates.
TMTG Earnout Shares
As noted in Note 1, in connection with the Merger, TMTG shareholders were entitled to up to 40,000,000 shares if certain post-merger per share market prices were achieved.
We utilized a Monte Carlo simulation analysis to determine the fair value of the Earnout Shares at the date of the merger, which included the following assumptions:
The Monte Carlo simulation conclusion for each tranche of the Earnout Shares was the result of the average of 1,000,000 trial outcomes. Within each trial of the simulation:
1. The stock price was simulated for the defined term ( 1.5 years, 2 years, and 3 years) after the Merger date.
2. The vest date was determined as the date the stock price achieved the different stock price thresholds, which were $ 12.50 , $ 15.00 , and $ 17.50 .
3. The payoff was calculated as the number of shares issued per tranche ( 15 million, 15 million, and 10 million) multiplied by the simulated stock price at the vest date, which varied with each simulation.
4. The payoff was discounted to the present value using the interpolated risk-free rate ranging from 4.31 % to 4.70 %.
Volatility was calculated as the annualized standard deviation of daily returns from a set of Guideline Public Companies (GPC) over the expected term for each tranche. The 75th percentile of GPC
volatilities was selected given our early stage life cycle relative to the GPC set. The accounting for the Earnout Shares was first evaluated under ASC 718 to determine if the arrangement represents a share-based payment arrangement. Because there
were no service conditions nor any requirement of the participants to provide goods or services, we determined that the Earnout Shares were not within the scope of ASC 718.
13
Table of Contents
Next, we determined that the Earnout Shares represent a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument to be evaluated under ASC 480 and ASC 815-40. Based upon the analysis, we concluded that the
Earnout Shares should not be classified as a liability under ASC 480.
We next considered the equity classification conditions in ASC 815-40-25 and concluded that all of the conditions were met. Therefore, the Earnout Share arrangement was appropriately classified in
equity.
As the merger has been accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, the fair value of the Earnout Shares arrangement has been accounted for as an equity transaction as of the closing date of the merger.
On April 26, 2024, the Earnout Shares had been earned and such shares were issued.
NOTE 4 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. We
use a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
Level 1. Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2. Significant other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3. Significant unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The fair value of our money market funds, repurchase agreements, trading securities, and option premium liability are classified within Level 1, because we use quoted market prices to determine their
fair value. Options and exchange traded funds are valued based on the last trade price on the primary exchange on which they are traded. We have not experienced any material losses related to these securities.

NOTE 8 – LONG-TERM DEBT
Convertible Notes
On May 29, 2025, we entered into an Indenture, providing $ 1,000,000.0 in 0.00 % convertible senior secured notes due on May 29, 2028 (the “Notes”), unless earlier repurchased or converted. The Notes carry a 4.00 % original issuance discount. Each Note holder has the right at its option, to require us to repurchase its Notes for cash on November 30, 2026, at a repurchase price equal to 100 % of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, subject to the terms and conditions in the Indenture.
Each holder of the Notes may at their option convert such holder’s Notes into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of 28.8 shares per $ 1.0 of Notes. We retain the right to force conversion if, at any time after November 29, 2025, the last reported sale price of our common stock exceeds 130 % of the conversion rate for any 20 consecutive trading days during a 30 -day trading period. In addition, if certain corporate events that constitute a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” occur, then the conversion rate will, in certain circumstances, be increased for a specified period of time.
17
Table of Contents
Within 45 days of closing, we were required to have a Loan-to-Collateral Ratio of less than or equal to 1.0 to 1.0, with the Loan-to-Collateral Ratio calculated as the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Notes divided by the sum of (i) the aggregate market value of Bitcoin collateral multiplied by 0.5263157895 , plus (ii) the aggregate value of all of cash and cash equivalents collateral. Required collateral of $ 1,000,000.0 was delivered to the Collateral Agent subsequent to June 30, 2025, and within 45 days of closing. We recorded the $ 1,000,000.0 earmarked for delivery to the Collateral Agent as restricted cash in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. We may utilize the restricted cash to purchase Bitcoin to serve as collateral in order to meet our Loan-to-Collateral Ratio.
Portions of the collateral will be released when the outstanding aggregate principal balance of all Notes is at $ 500,000.0 or less, and an additional portion will be released when the outstanding aggregate principal of all Notes is $ 250,000.0 or less. Collateral will be automatically released upon payment in full of the principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes. We are also subject to other customary covenants under the terms of the Indenture.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we accreted $ 3,914.7 of interest expense on the Notes. The effective interest rate of the Notes is 4.80 % per annum. The estimated fair value of the Notes as of June 30, 2025 was $ 1,124,246.6 , and is based on unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data and therefore is classified as a Level 3 fair value measurement.
Term Loan
We assumed a loan from our business combination with WorldConnect Technologies, LLC. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the term loan had a carrying amount of $ 9,994.0 and $ 9,616.7 , respectively, with $ 4,968.0 and $ 4,780.5 of the term loan due within 12 months of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we accreted interest expense of $ 190.5 and $ 377.3 related to the term loan.
The term loan carries an effective interest rate of 7.72 % per annum and requires future payments of $ 5,000.0 in both August 2025 and August 2026, and $ 500.0 in August 2027.

NOTE 9 – LEASES
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company did no t enter into additional leases with terms longer than 1 year. We elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities arising from short-term leases with initial terms of twelve months or less (deemed immaterial) on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

When measuring lease liabilities for leases that were classified as operating leases, we discounted lease payments using our estimated incremental borrowing rate. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied was 7.86 %. As of June 30, 2025, our leases had a remaining weighted average term of 3.17 years.

The estimated annual effective tax rate applied to the six months ended June 30, 2025, is 0.8 % which differs from the US federal statutory rate of 21 % principally due to the projection of U.S. net operating loss for the fiscal 2025 with full application of a valuation allowance and the change in the net deferred tax liability remaining after application of the valuation allowance (“naked credit” or “hanging credit”). As of June 30, 2025, we had US Federal and state net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) with a tax benefit of $ 39,582.1 . NOLs are available for use indefinitely.

NOTE 12 – LOSS PER SHARE
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of stock outstanding during the period. We computed diluted earnings per share of common stock based on the weighted average number of shares of stock outstanding plus potentially dilutive shares of stock outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive shares of stock from employee incentive plans are determined by applying the treasury stock method to the assumed vesting of outstanding RSUs, convertible notes and warrants. There were no dilutive potential common shares for the periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 because we incurred a net loss and the potential dilutive shares are anti-dilutive.
Total common stock equivalents excluded from dilutive earnings/loss per share are as follows:

NOTE 13 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
On May 29, 2025, we executed subscription agreements (the “Equity PIPE Subscription Agreements”) with accredited investors (the “Equity PIPE Subscribers”) pursuant to which we sold an aggregate of 55,857,181 shares of our common stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share, for gross proceeds of $ 1,395,318.3 in a private placement (the “PIPE Financing”). The PIPE Financing was issued in a private placement in reliance upon an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The proceeds from the PIPE Financing are intended to be used to purchase bitcoin, bitcoin related securities, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
We paid a placement agent fee and offering costs, in the amount of $ 75,727.6 for our Equity PIPE Subscription Agreement and Convertible Senior Secured Notes Subscription Agreement. Of the consideration paid, $ 41,328.4 was netted against proceeds due for the purchase of shares of our common stock and $ 34,399.2 was paid in cash.

We may repurchase share or warrants from time to time on the open market, including in block trades, in accordance with applicable federal securities rules and regulations. The Share Repurchase Program has no time limit, does not obligate us to make any repurchases and may be modified, suspended or terminated by us at any time without prior notice. The amount and timing of repurchases are subject to a variety of factors including liquidity, share price, market conditions, and legal requirements, and will be funded by available cash and cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2025, no shares have been repurchased.

NOTE 16 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
From time-to-time, we are a party to litigation and subject to claims, suits, regulatory and government investigations, other proceedings and consent decrees in the ordinary course of business, and
other unasserted claims. We investigate claims as they arise and accrue estimates for resolution of legal and other contingencies when losses are probable and reasonably estimable. Based on current known facts and circumstances, we currently believe
that any liabilities ultimately resulting from ordinary course claims, and proceedings will not individually or in aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the outcomes of
claims legal proceedings or investigations are inherently unpredictable and subject to uncertainty, and may have an adverse effect on us because of defense costs, diversion of management resources and other factors that are not known to us or cannot
be quantified at this time. We may also receive unfavorable preliminary or interim rulings in the course of litigation, and there can be no assurances that favorable final outcomes will be obtained. The final outcome of any current or future claims
or lawsuits could adversely affect our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We periodically evaluate developments in our legal matters that could affect the amount of liability that has previously been accrued or the
reasonably possible losses that we have disclosed, and make adjustments as appropriate.
Consistent with the practice of many companies, we have entered into, and continue to enter into indemnity agreements with our executive officers and certain members of our board of directors. These
indemnity agreements broadly provide for us to advance expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with any legal proceeding, as well as indemnification for any and all expenses, actually and reasonably incurred, in connection with
the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such a proceeding, in connection with matters related to their position. These indemnity agreements provide that the indemnitee shall repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be
determined by final judicial decision from where there is no further right of appeal that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified.
Except as indicated below, to the knowledge of our Management Team, there is no litigation currently pending or contemplated against us, or against any of our property.
Litigation with United Atlantic Ventures (“UAV”) in Delaware
On July 30, 2021, an attorney for the Trump Organization, on behalf of President Trump, declared void ab initio a services agreement that had granted Private TMTG, among other things, extensive intellectual property and digital media rights related to President Trump for purposes of commercializing the various Private TMTG initiatives (the “Services Agreement”). Neither Private TMTG nor Digital World was a party to such agreement. On each of January 18, 2024 and February 9, 2024, Digital World received letters from counsel to UAV, a party to the Services Agreement. The letters contained certain assertions and enclosed a copy of the Services Agreement that had been declared void two and a half years earlier. Specifically, counsel for UAV claims that the Services Agreement grants UAV rights to (1) appoint two directors to TMTG and its successors (i.e., TMTG after the Business Combination), (2) approve or disapprove of the creation of additional TMTG shares or share classes and anti-dilution protection for future issuances, and (3) a $ 1.0 million expense reimbursement claim. In addition, UAV asserts that the Services Agreement is not void ab initio and claims that certain events following the July 30, 2021 notification support its assertion that such Services Agreement was not void. On February 6, 2024, a representative of UAV sent a text message to a representative of a noteholder of TMTG suggesting that UAV might seek to enjoin the Business Combination. On February 9, 2024, Private TMTG received from counsel to UAV a letter similar to those letters received by Digital World, which also threatened Private TMTG with legal action regarding UAV’s alleged rights in Private TMTG, including, if necessary, an action to enjoin consummation of the Business Combination.

Table of Contents
On February 28, 2024, UAV filed a verified complaint against Private TMTG in the Court of Chancery seeking declaratory and injunctive relief relating to the authorization, issuance, and ownership of
stock in Private TMTG and filed a motion for expedited proceedings (C.A. No. 2024-0184-LWW). On March 4, 2024, UAV filed an amended complaint, converting their action from a direct action to a purported derivative action, and adding members of the
Private TMTG board as defendants. On March 9, 2024, the Court of Chancery held a hearing to decide UAV’s motion to expedite proceedings. During the oral argument, Private TMTG agreed that any additional shares of Private TMTG issued prior to or upon
the consummation of the Business Combination would be placed in escrow pending a resolution of the dispute between the parties. The Court of Chancery entered an order consistent with the foregoing on March 15, 2024, and scheduled a status conference
for April 1, 2024. On April 2, 2024, UAV filed a motion for leave to file a second amended complaint together with a motion for preliminary injunction and a motion for contempt and anti-suit injunction related to Private TMTG’s filing of a separate
litigation against UAV and others in Florida state court. Private TMTG maintains that the contempt claims are meritless. On April 9, 2024, the Court of Chancery granted the motion for leave to file a second amended complaint and re-assigned the case
to a new judge. On April 11, 2024, UAV filed its second amended complaint, naming the prior Defendants together with five new defendants—TMTG and the current directors on the TMTG Board who were not on Private TMTG’s board of directors. On April 22,
2024, all of the Defendants moved to vacate the Court of Chancery’s prior order expediting the matter. Additionally, all of the Defendants moved to dismiss the second amended complaint. Following briefing and oral argument on the motion to vacate, on
April 30, 2024, the Court of Chancery vacated the prior provisions of the March 15 order expediting the matter. On May 6, 2024, UAV filed its Renewed Motion for Contempt of the March 15, 2024 Order against Private TMTG (“First Contempt Motion”)
seeking, among other things, to enjoin Private TMTG and related parties from prosecuting certain claims in Florida state court. On May 8, 2024, the Court of Chancery stayed discovery and granted a protective order with respect to all discovery served
on Defendants and all other persons from whom discovery was being sought.
On June 5, 2024, UAV filed for leave to again amend its complaint. The Court of Chancery granted the motion for leave to amend on July 8, 2024, and UAV filed its Third Amended Complaint on July 9, 2024.
The Third Amended Complaint dismissed as defendants three current TMTG directors (W. Kyle Green, Linda McMahon, and Robert Lighthizer) and added four former Digital World directors (Frank J. Andrews, Patrick F. Orlando, Edward J. Preble, and Jeffrey
A. Smith). On July 17, 2024, UAV filed a second contempt motion against Private TMTG and TMTG (“Second Contempt Motion”) alleging additional violations of the March 15 Order. On August 27, 2024, the Court of Chancery denied both the First Contempt
Motion and the Second Contempt Motion.
On October 8, 2024, UAV voluntarily dismissed Mr. Orlando with prejudice. On May 15, 2025, the Court held a hearing on the remaining defendants’ motion to dismiss on the Third Amended Complaint and an
additional motion to dismiss or stay on the basis of temporary presidential immunity.
Litigation with ARC, Patrick Orlando, UAV, Andrew Litinsky, and Wesley Moss in Florida
On February 26, 2024, representatives of ARC Global Investments II, LLC (“ARC”) claimed to Digital World that after a “more comprehensive” review, the conversion ratio for Digital World Class B common stock into Digital World Class A common stock upon the completion of the Business Combination was approximately 1.8 :1. ARC’s new claim also contradicted the previous assertion by Patrick Orlando, the managing member of ARC, that the conversion ratio was 1.68 :1. Digital World’s board of directors viewed these claims as an attempt by Mr. Orlando to secure personal benefits, breaching his fiduciary duty to Digital World and its shareholders. Digital World and Private TMTG initiated a lawsuit against ARC in the Civil Division for the Twelfth Judicial Circuit Court in Sarasota County, Florida, on February 27, 2024 (Docket No. 2024-CA-001061-NC). The complaint sought a declaratory judgment affirming the appropriate conversion ratio as 1.34 :1, as previously disclosed, damages for tortious interference with the contractual and business relationship between Private TMTG and Digital World, and damages for conspiracy with unnamed co-conspirators to interfere with the same. The complaint also sought damages for Mr. Orlando’s breach of fiduciary duty, which exposed Digital World to regulatory liability and resulted in an $ 18 million penalty, and for his continuous obstruction of Digital World’s merger with Private TMTG to extort various concessions that benefited only him and harmed Digital World and its shareholders. Furthermore, the complaint sought damages for the wrongful assertion of dominion over Digital World’s assets inconsistent with Digital World’s possessory rights over those assets. On March 8, 2024, Digital World voluntarily dismissed its declaratory judgment claim against ARC. On March 17, 2024, Digital World and Private TMTG filed an amended complaint, adding a claim for violation of Florida’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act. Digital World further alleged breach of fiduciary duty of loyalty, breach of fiduciary duty of care, and conversion claims against Mr. Orlando. With respect to ARC, Digital World alleged aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty. On April 3, 2024, Defendants ARC and Mr. Orlando filed a joint motion to dismiss the amended complaint or, in the alternative, to stay the proceeding pending the Delaware Action (C.A. No. 2024-0184-LWW). Defendants ARC and Mr. Orlando also filed that same day a motion to stay discovery in the action.

Table of Contents
On May 29, 2024, Digital World moved to compel discovery from ARC and Mr. Orlando. On July 15, 2024, following a July 10 hearing, the Court entered an order denying the motion to stay discovery and motion to compel. On July 29, 2024, the Court entered an order denying the motion to dismiss or, in the alternative, to stay the proceeding for improper venue. Defendants ARC and Mr. Orlando appealed that order (C.A. No. 2D2024-1780), which the Court dismissed on April 30, 2025. On August 2, 2024, Defendants ARC and Mr. Orlando filed a motion to stay pending appeal in the trial court. On July 31, 2024, Digital World and Private TMTG filed a motion for leave to file a second amended complaint, which proposed to add allegations against ARC and Mr. Orlando related to pre-targeting and other misconduct as set forth in the SEC Complaint against Mr. Orlando, and naming UAV, Andrew Litinsky, and Wesley Moss as additional defendants. On August 15, 2024, Digital World and Private TMTG filed a motion for temporary injunction seeking to enjoin the threatened sale of Digital World stock by Defendant ARC and one of the new defendants proposed to be added through the motion for leave to file a second amended complaint. On August 28, 2024, Digital World and Private TMTG filed a renewed motion to compel, seeking prior productions to the SEC and DOJ and other documents from Defendants ARC and Mr. Orlando. On August 30, 2024, the trial court held a hearing to address several motions. During the hearing, the Court granted Digital World and Private TMTG’s motion for leave to amend and denied their motion for temporary injunction. The trial court also denied the motion to stay pending appeal filed by Defendants ARC and Mr. Orlando. On September 3, 2024, Digital World and Private TMTG filed the Second Amended Complaint. On September 4, 2024, Digital World and Private TMTG filed an expedited motion to compel, seeking production of ARC’s capitalization table, supporting documents, and an order requiring ARC to cooperate with Digital World and Private TMTG in advance of the expiration of the lock-up restriction. On September 5, 2024, Defendants ARC and Mr. Orlando filed a motion to stay pending appeal in the Second District Court of Appeal, which the Second District denied on October 18, 2024 (C.A. No. 2D2024-1780). On September 12, 2024, the Court granted in part and denied in part the expedited motion to compel, ordering production of the capitalization table and supporting documents by September 13, 2024, at 12 p.m. On that same day, Defendants ARC and Mr. Orlando filed a notice of removal in the Middle District of Florida (C.A. No. 8:24-cv-02161). On September 13, 2024, Digital World and Private TMTG filed an emergency motion to remand to state court in the Middle District of Florida, which the Middle District granted on September 17, 2024. On September 18, 2024, Digital World and Private TMTG filed an emergency motion for temporary injunction and contempt against ARC and Mr. Orlando in the state court action. On that same day, the Court held a hearing during which it granted Digital World and Private TMTG’s motion for contempt, imposed a coercive sanction against ARC and Mr. Orlando of $ 5,000 per day until they complied with the Court’s September 12 discovery order, and denied their motion for temporary injunction. Defendants ARC and Mr. Orlando have filed an appeal of that order, which the Court denied on June 13, 2025 (C.A. No. 2D2024-2364).
On September 20, 2024, ARC filed its answer, defenses, and affirmative defenses to the Second Amended Complaint. On September 26, 2024, Defendants ARC and Mr. Orlando filed a motion to compel. On
October 1, 2024, Digital World and Private TMTG filed a motion for an order to show cause why ARC and Mr. Orlando should not be held in further contempt and subject to increased sanctions for their failure to comply with the Court’s September 18
contempt order. On October 3, 2024, Mr. Orlando filed an amended motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint or, alternatively, to stay the action. On October 15, 2024, ARC filed an amended answer, defenses, and affirmative defenses to the
Second Amended Complaint, counterclaim, and third-party complaint, naming 9 additional defendants: Luis Orleans-Braganza, Lee Jacobson, Bruce J. Garelick, Justin Shaner, Eric Swider, Rodrigo Veloso, Ed Preble, Frank Andrews, and Jeffrey Smith. On
October 21, 2024, UAV, Mr. Moss, and Mr. Litinsky jointly filed 3 motions: a motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint for failure to state a cause of action, motion to stay pending resolution of the Delaware Action, and motion to dismiss for
improper venue. On November 1, 2024, Digital World and Private TMTG filed a supplemental brief in support of the October motion for order to show cause and a fee petition to recover attorneys’ fees pursuant to the September 18 contempt order.
On November 18, 2024, the Court granted in part the October motion for order to show cause, ordering, inter alia , the appointment of a third-party vendor to re-collect all devices and files from ARC and Mr. Orlando and run search terms and a sanction against ARC and Mr. Orlando of $ 5,000 per day from September 18 to November 8, 2024. Defendants ARC and Mr. Orlando have filed a motion for leave to amend their petition to appeal the September 18 order to include an appeal of the November 18 order, which the Court denied on February 5, 2025 (C.A. No. 2D2024-2364).

On January 22, 2025, the Court held a hearing during which it heard the motion to stay pending resolution of the Delaware Action and scheduled an omnibus hearing to hear outstanding motions on March
7, 2025. At the January 22, 2025 hearing, the Court entered a temporary administrative stay of discovery as to Mr. Litinsky, Mr. Moss, and UAV pending its resolution of their motion to stay. On January 23, 2025, Defendants ARC and Mr. Orlando filed
a motion to compel production of documents and a motion to strike. On February 10, 2025, Mr. Orlando and ARC filed an appeal of the Court’s November 18 order, which the Second District denied on April 24, 2025 (C.A. No. 2D2025-0314).
On February 19, 2025, the Court denied the October 3 motion to stay filed by Mr. Orlando and the October 21 motion to stay filed by UAV, Mr. Moss, and Mr. Litinsky, finding that this action and the
Delaware Action do not “involve substantially similar issues.”
On March 7, 2025, the Court held an omnibus hearing to address outstanding motions. Following the March 7 hearing, the Court entered several orders. It denied the motions to dismiss for improper
venue filed by Mr. Orlando on October 3 and UAV, Mr. Moss, and Mr. Litinsky on October 21. The Court also denied the motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim filed by Mr. Orlando on October 3 and UAV, Mr. Moss, and Mr. Litinsky on October
21. The Court granted the motions to dismiss the third-party complaint filed on behalf of Lee Jacobson, Bruce J. Garelick, Eric Swider, Rodrigo Veloso, Ed Preble, Frank Andrews, and Jeffrey Smith but provided leave to amend. The Court granted in
part the January 23 motion to compel filed by Mr. Orlando and ARC. The Court also granted in part the motion to dismiss ARC’s counterclaims, dismissing Count V of the counterclaims. On March 21, 2025, UAV, Mr. Moss, and Mr. Litinsky appealed

Litigation with ARC in Delaware
On February 29, 2024, ARC filed a lawsuit in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (C.A. No. 2024-0186-LWW) against Digital World and its directors, alleging an impending violation of the Digital World Charter. ARC alleged that Digital World failed to commit to issue conversion shares to ARC that ARC claims it is owed upon the consummation of the Business Combination pursuant to the Charter. ARC claimed a conversion ratio of 1.81 :1 and sought specific performance and damages for the alleged breach of the Charter, a declaratory judgment that the certain derivative securities of Digital World should be included in the calculation of the conversion ratio, a finding that the directors of Digital World breached their fiduciary duties, and a preliminary injunction to enjoin the Business Combination until Digital World “corrected” the conversion ratio. TMTG defended Digital World’s calculation of the conversion ratio and related rights. In addition to its complaint, ARC also filed a motion with the Court of Chancery requesting that the case schedule be expedited to enable the Court of Chancery to conduct an injunction hearing prior to the March 22, 2024, shareholder vote. On March 5, 2024, the Court of Chancery denied ARC’s motion, stating that it would not conduct a merits or injunction hearing before March 22, 2024. Consequently, the Court of Chancery also denied ARC’s request to postpone the Business Combination vote until after a merits hearing. The Court of Chancery ruled that Digital World’s proposal to deposit disputed shares into an escrow account at the close of the Business Combination was adequate to prevent potential irreparable harm related to ARC’s share conversion. The Court of Chancery also found that Digital World’s public disclosures about ARC’s claims and possible conversion scenarios at the close of the Business Combination further mitigated the risk of irreparable harm due to insufficient disclosure for the March 22, 2024 vote. As a result, on March 21, 2024, Digital World entered into two escrow agreements with Odyssey, as follows: (i) an escrow agreement for the benefit of ARC (the “ARC Escrow Agreement”), pursuant to which DWAC deposited into escrow 3,579,480 shares of TMTG shares of common stock (“Common Stock”), and (ii) an escrow agreement for the benefit of the Non-ARC Class B Shareholders (the “Non-ARC Class B Shareholders Escrow Agreement,” and together with the ARC Escrow Agreement, the “Disputed Shares Escrow Agreements”), pursuant to which TMTG deposited into escrow 1,087,553 shares of TMTG Common Stock, which amounts represent the difference between the actual conversion ratio, determined by Digital World’s board of directors upon closing of the Business Combination (which was determined to be 1.348 :1), and a conversion ratio of 2.00 :1. On September 16, 2024, the Court of Chancery issued its order in this matter setting the conversion ratio at 1.4911 :1. The Court of Chancery ruled against ARC on a substantial majority of its claims, reducing ARC’s proposed calculation of the conversion ratio of 1.81 :1 by approximately 70 % and holding that the former board members of Digital World did not breach any fiduciary duties in setting the conversion ratio calculation or in their public disclosures of the same. As a result of the Court of Chancery’s order, a portion of the disputed shares of Common Stock held in escrow were released to ARC. The release of Common Stock is subject to the terms and conditions of the ARC Escrow Agreement with the Escrow Agent and TMTG. Accordingly, 785,825 shares of TMTG Common Stock, which represents the Court’s calculation for the difference between a ratio of 1.348 :1 and 1.4911 :1, were released from escrow (the “Court Ratio”). Both parties still retain the option to file an appeal within 30 days after the Court of Chancery’s final order. In connection with the Court of Chancery’s final order, 238,692 Common Shares deposited in the Non-ARC Class B Shareholders Escrow Agreement, representing the Court Ratio, were released to the applicable holders, subject to the terms and conditions of the Non-ARC Class B Shareholders Escrow Agreement and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. On October 23, 2024, ARC filed a motion for a $ 1,000,000 fee award. On July 14, 2025, the Court adjusted the fee award downward, awarding ARC $ 75,000 —less than 10 % of the amount initially sought.

On March 15, 2024, Plaintiff Patrick Orlando brought a lawsuit against Digital World in the Court of Chancery seeking advancement of legal fees associated with Mr. Orlando’s involvement in civil litigation against Digital World in Florida and certain other matters (the “Advancement Lawsuit”) (C.A. No. 2024-0264-CDW). Mr. Orlando’s allegations relate to certain provisions in the Digital World Charter, Digital World’s bylaws, and an indemnity agreement allegedly entered into between Mr. Orlando and Digital World. Mr. Orlando alleges that those certain provisions require Digital World to pay the legal fees Mr. Orlando incurred and will incur in connection with legal proceedings in which he is involved by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of Digital World. Mr. Orlando seeks a court order that (i) declares that he is entitled to legal fees for certain proceedings described in the complaint, (ii) requires Digital World to pay for legal fees incurred and future legal fees to be incurred for those proceedings, (iii) requires Digital World to pay the fees incurred to bring the Advancement Lawsuit, and (iv) requires Digital World to pay pre- and post-judgment interest on the amounts owed to Mr. Orlando. On April 3, 2024, the Court of Chancery entered a Stipulation and Advancement Order (“Stipulation”) stating that Mr. Orlando is entitled to advancement of attorneys’ fees and costs incurred with legal proceedings described in the Stipulation, subject to Digital World’s right to challenge the reasonableness of those attorneys’ fees and costs. The Stipulation further states that Mr. Orlando is entitled to fees incurred in connection with enforcement of advancement rights and sets forth procedures that will govern future requests for advancement of attorneys’ fees and costs. As of July 24, 2025, TMTG had paid or agreed to pay approximately $ 8.3 million to Mr. Orlando’s attorneys pursuant to such Stipulation and TMTG’s other advancement obligations to Mr. Orlando. On April 23, 2024, Mr. Orlando filed a motion for leave to supplement the Advancement Lawsuit to add a claim for advancement of legal fees and expenses Mr. Orlando had incurred and would incur in connection with his defense of an action for declaratory judgment brought by members of ARC regarding Mr. Orlando’s removal as the managing member of ARC (the “ARC Removal Action”). Mr. Orlando also sought reimbursement for the legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with his supplement to the Advancement Lawsuit, and he sought pre-judgment and post-judgment interest on the amounts he claimed were owed to him. On August 1, 2024, plaintiffs in the ARC Removal Action dismissed their complaint without prejudice. On August 8, 2024, Mr. Orlando dismissed his supplemental claims in the Advancement Lawsuit without prejudice.

On February 10, 2025, Mr. Orlando filed a motion to modify the advancement order, seeking to modify the advancement order to allow him to not submit invoices for experts. On March 12, 2025, the Court
denied the motion in part, stating that “TMTG is entitled to have some concrete information allowing it to assess whether Mr. Orlando’s expenses are reasonable and related to DWAC/TMTG before making a payment” and ordering Mr. Orlando to “provide
TMTG with invoices with sufficient unredacted information that allows it to make that assessment.”
On March 31, 2025, Mr. Orlando filed a motion seeking advancement of certain disputed fees, which has been fully briefed and is scheduled for oral argument on August 4, 2025. On April 8, 2025, Mr.
Orlando filed a motion for sanctions, which he subsequently withdrew. On June 23, 2025, Mr. Orlando filed another motion seeking advancement of certain disputed fees.

On June 20, 2024, TMTG’s transfer agent, Odyssey filed an interpleader action in the U.S. District Court of the District of Delaware (C.A. No. 24-cv-00729). The complaint pertains to the ongoing dispute regarding share ownership between Michael Melkersen and ARC and includes TMTG as a nominal defendant. Odyssey is seeking an order from the Court discharging Odyssey of further liability and requiring ARC and TMTG to resolve their competing claims as to 716,140 Class A shares of TMTG and 25,000 TMTG warrants. On July 17, 2024, Odyssey filed a motion to dismiss for discharge and dismissal. On July 18, 2024, ARC filed a motion to dismiss for improper venue. On July 22, 2024, TMTG filed a motion for discharge and dismissal. On August 13, 2024, TMTG filed its answer and crossclaims against Mr. Melkersen and ARC. On August 21, 2024, ARC filed a motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. On September 3, 2024, ARC filed a motion to dismiss TMTG’s crossclaims on the grounds of forum non conveniens. On October 14, 2024, Mr. Melkersen filed his answer to the complaint for interpleader. This matter remains pending.
Litigation with RejuveTotal in New York
On October 21, 2024, RejuveTotal LLC (“Rejuve”) filed suit against TMTG and its Chief Financial Officer in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County (Index No. 655551/2024). The
complaint alleged breach of contract, and sought equitable relief as well as indemnification and reimbursement of costs and expenses, in connection with Rejuve’s role as Purchaser Representative under the Merger Agreement. On February 18, 2025,
Rejuve discontinued this action without prejudice.
On December 23, 2024, TMTG filed suit against Rejuve in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County (Index No. 659834/2024). In the complaint, TMTG seeks declaratory and injunctive relief against Rejuve arising out of Rejuve’s alleged conduct as Purchaser Representative under an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of October 20, 2021. On January 13, 2025, TMTG filed an application, by way of a proposed order to show cause, for a preliminary injunction prohibiting Rejuve from taking any further action in its alleged capacity as Purchaser Representative under the Merger Agreement. On January 23, 2025, the Court approved a stipulation to stay the action pending resolution of the arbitration before the American Arbitration Association seeking to recover its fees and expenses from TMTG that Rejuve allegedly incurred as Purchaser Representative, and to enjoin Rejuve from acting as Purchaser Representative except with respect to its participation in the arbitration. The arbitration occurred on April 29, 2025. On July 22, 2025, the arbitrator issued his Final Award in favor of TMTG, awarding a net sum of $ 22,868 .
NOTE 17 – SEGMENT INFORMATION
In the second quarter of 2025, our internal reporting and segments changed. We dividend our consolidated segment into two operating segments to enable enhanced focus on the different strategies required for each long-term strategic plan. We report our operating results through two reportable segments: Media and Truth.Fi:
28
Table of Contents
•
Media, previously social media & streaming, includes products and services such as advertisement through our Truth Social platform. Truth+ began unpaid streaming subscriptions to our Patriot Package during
the period ended June 30, 2025, and paid subscriptions are expected to launch in the third quarter of 2025.
•
Truth.Fi, through our consolidated VIE will provide separately managed accounts (“SMAs”); customized exchange-traded funds and/or exchange-traded products
(collectively, “ETFs”) invested in America First principles, and bitcoin and similar cryptocurrencies or crypto-related securities.
The “Corporate & Other” category presented in the following tables is not considered an operating segment. It consists primarily of costs and expenses related to executing our digital asset treasury
strategy and includes the realized and unrealized gains and losses from our digital asset treasury strategy, third-party costs associated with our digital asset holding strategy, net interest expense primarily related to long-term debt obligations
(used to fund our digital asset treasury strategy), and income tax effects generated from our digital asset treasury strategy and related debt issuance. We have not dedicated certain corporate resources to our digital asset treasury strategy.
Our Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), as of June 30, 2025, is our Chief Executive Officer. Our CODM evaluates the performance of and allocates resources to our segment’s
based on each segment’s net loss and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Segment EBITDA). Segment EBITDA is defined as segment revenue less operating costs and expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, interest
income or expense (net), provision or benefit for income taxes, change in fair value of derivative liabilities, loss on extinguishment of debt and stock-based compensation expense. We believe Segment EBITDA serves as a measure that assists our
CODM and our investors in comparing our segment performance on a consistent basis.
Our CODM uses cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, and trading securities as part of the evaluation of performance and allocation of resources within our corporate &
other category. Total assets is not used to evaluate the performance of our segments. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, all revenues were earned from our Media segment.
Review of cash forecast models is used to assess the segment’s results and performance, and inform investment decisions by our CODM. Consolidated net loss and Segment EBITDA are used to monitor
budgeted versus actual results. Additionally, review of budgeted versus actual results is used in assessing performance of the segment.
As part of the segment reorganization, we reallocated our Segment EBITDA to each reporting unit and corporate & other. We have reflected this reallocation in all historical periods presented.
